If you don't own one yet, we've got your back. Below are all the current Nintendo Switch deals and bundles we could find. We've also added some of the best Switch games you should consider and 25 essential accessories you'll need.

Nintendo Switch Bundle Deals

For reference, the Switch is normally $300, and most top-tier games cost $60 whether you buy a physical cartridge or a digital copy. You can choose whether you want an all-gray version or one with blue and red Joy-Con controllers. Since part of the appeal of Switch is the ability to slide the Joy-Cons off and use them as two separate wireless controllers, the colors do make it a bit easier to figure out which side they go back into.

Nintendo Switch with $35 eShop Credit for $299 ($35 off): This is currently our favorite Switch deal. There are a lot of fantastic games to download at the Nintendo Switch eShop app store, and this is a perfect reason to pick up a few. Try Celeste or one of the other titles below.

Nintendo Switch with Gray Joy-Con ($299): Right now you're better off grabbing the deal with eShop credit above, but if you just want a standard Switch without any extras, this model has gray controllers.

Refurbished Switches from Nintendo

We don't always recommend refurbished units, but Nintendo has a good track record with refurbished goods, and a couple of us on the WIRED team have purchased refurbished consoles from Nintendo in the past. These all come with a 1-year warranty just like you'd get with a new Switch from the factory. It's not a huge discount, but if every dollar counts, it's a way of saving a few bucks.

Switch Essentials You'll Need

All of these are in our list of the best Nintendo Switch accessories, but to get you started, we've included a few links below for items you really must have. You'll need a MicroSD card to download and fit extra games. Get one with as many gigs as you can afford, so you don't have to buy more in the future. We also highly recommend buying a screen protector, a travel case, and a Nintendo Pro Con­troller. An extra dock is nice if you have more than one TV.

Gaming Headsets Worth a Look

Using a gaming headset on the Switch is more complicated than it should be. Nintendo's new online service requires you to use a smartphone to chat in games like Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but if you also want to hear in-game audio in your headset, you have to connect it to the Switch via a 3.5-mm headphone jack. Fortnite, and possibly other games, do not use the smartphone app. If you want to get the most out of your headset, we recommend the two products below .

Astro A10 Wired Headset ($60): This Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild–themed headset lets you connect to your phone and the Nintendo Switch. It's not wireless, but it works. It will run on other systems and is one of our favorite headsets.
